The point is to have a place where we can all report the status of package
building -- so we know which packages are broken & which ones work, and
which ones others have already done so we don't duplicate work. Basically,
if you use the little form over at www.schnarff.com/netbsd/pkg-add.html once
you build a package, it'll go into the database and everyone can check on
it.

No big hurry...this *is* a volunteer effort, after all. ;-)

Very much agreed. Hopefully this will help legitimize Dreamcast!
